Two female soldiers are using the courts to try and open up combat roles for women. Their basis for the suit is that their career advancement and income potential is limited by current restrictions which have been loosened in recent years.
Women have been killed in recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Army Secretary John McHugh of Watertown is among those named as defendants.

Guns, knives, and women! I wouldn't want to face them on the battle field.
With the logic most women command, the enemy will never know where we are going to hit them. It just might work.
So this is actually about money & not flag-waving excuses.
Maybe there is an opportunity here. I'm sure Pelosi could give the Army pointers on how to develope a bullet proof face.
Look... The girls work harder to be in the Army and get less pay. Is that right? Yes it's about money and respect. Having rank. They can kill five different ways too. They can lug the supplies to the front. They can die too. Why not have equal rank and pay?
